Saturday

They sit under the canopy
of the willow until a
hazy sun melts
habanero
into the horizon.
She traces hieroglyphs along
his arm, he ciphers
his breathing.
No words pass,
but he is lip reading
and believing
her eyelash Morse code.

    This is delicious. You had me at “willow.” That’s on my top-5-words list. And, oh, your use of “habanero”! That hit me like hot sauce. Seriously, that is such a vivid description. Incredible writing, sweet pea. Love these:

    “sun melts habanero into the horizon”
    “traces hieroglyphs”
    “lip reading and believing her eyelash Morse code”

Use your words.
